I remember when Nate and I first arrived in Japan, we were wide-eyed Americans who thought we knew it all. Little did we know, this crazy place loves to take confident Americans and send them flying back across the pond crying to their mothers!! We fought through the hard times, made some great friends, and have had some amazing adventures. Both of us avid home brewers and self-proclaimed beer connoisseurs, we want to share the knowledge that we have amassed the past years and share it with you!
Between us we have over six years of home brewing experience, many great batches, and many terrible batches of beer. We both arrived in Japan on September 11, 2006 and Nate has stayed the course ever since. I took a "year sabbatical" in 2007-2008, and returned on August 22nd to rejoin Nate in our world adventures.
Upon arriving in Japan, I was astonished to find that Japanese beer was...as one of my good friends likes to say...delicate in its taste. In the small town where I lived there were very few places to find good beer, and those beers were few and far between.
Now I find myself living in secluded Toei, Aichi...a beautiful place...with no good beer. I am sure many of you find yourself in the same situation as me. Beer lovers with no good beer in sight!!!! Relax, we are here to help.
We will be reviewing many micro brews here in Japan, as well as some of the seasonal brews that the "big four" produce periodically. We hope you can find something here useful!
Until then, enjoy your "Super Dry" or "Premium Malts" with a smile......
